he can order a programmer from Brenspeed and it comes with 3 custom tunes. He can get it tuned for n2o/motor or whatever he decides.

If he wants to get a dyno tune I think locally he can go to PSI in webster, Strictly, Fastlane or Houston Performance.

While hpp seems to do killer work, that is a BOLD statement... And while they have alot of cars with Impressive dyno numbers... Even thier two sonic blue shop cars supposedly made over 1000rwhp, one of them couldnt even break out of the 10s... the other went a best of 9.7, which while not slow, there are plenty of other tuners and shops in Texas that seem to get it done alot easier...

LIke dru said a few posts above, there a a handful of people here in houston that could get it done, Bolt on mild poweradder cars are pretty basic when it comes to tuning, its something that you could probly have pretty good results with even going the mail order route...

Look into brooks speed, Eric is pretty badass and I use him for starter tunes and some mail order stuff at the shop when I need it.

i just don't trust mail tunes, to many unknowns when tuning cars. if you want to stay local id say triangle speed shop in orange

Your just saying that cause you made 850+ and its still holdin together haha :smokin:







Mail in tunes should be used to drive your car to the dyno and thats it, so many uncontrollable factors. Every Engine varies due to robotic/man-made inconsistencies, so I'd deff consider a Dyno Tune.


Strickly, PSI, TSS, Fastlane, and ect anyone of these guys can get the job done

on a car close to stock the above is simply not true..

Do you think ford dyno tunes every single mustang that leaves thier factories?

and they have cars leaving with big kenne bells, big whipples and making over 600rwhp

When dealing with maf based cars, and the resources that some of these tuners have..

I would trust some of the big mail order tuners way before some of the people mentioned in this thread..

Its to the point now where you can but a bolt on blower kit, or even turbo kit, that comes with a mail order tuner, and can run, drive, and race it, as is no issues making close to 500rwhp on the stock motor...

I know several who used Brenspeeds can tunes with luck in forced induction applications.

All my friends with Nitrous and boosted Fords use PSI with no complaints.
